• Propose renaming Category:Baldwin acting family to Category:Baldwin family

Nominator's rationale: Matching article Baldwin family and other categories where no other prominent family of the same name has an article. UPDATE: Also supporting the suggestion of Category:Baldwin family (acting) per below.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 17:52, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak support - or Category:Baldwin family (acting), given that we have Category:Earls Baldwin of Bewdley as another "Baldwin family". Grutness...wha? 02:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Totally on board with Category:Baldwin family (acting) if folks like that better.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:26, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Using parentheses seems to be the usual way to dab families. Grutness...wha? 00:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose as nom The nom target name would include Earl Baldwin of Bewdley, the title given to the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. No objection to the other option. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:04, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose as proposed there's other prominent families Baldwin unrelated to this one that could be collected. Use the alternate Category:Baldwin family (acting) instead or keep as is. -- 65.92.246.43 (talk) 04:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Kwaito musicians. bibliomaniac15 05:38, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Kwaito artists to Category:Kwaito musicians

Nominator's rationale: They arent artists. Rathfelder (talk) 17:53, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Possibly speedy per C2C, although musical artists are still artists. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• its misleading to call musicians artists. Too ambiguous to use as a category as it confuses people whose first language isnt English. For example Ron Nesher was categorised as an artist.

Rathfelder (talk) 23:12, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Support so reduce ambiguity. --Lenticel ^(talk) 06:00, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:SLU staff to Category:Wikipedian staff of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

Nominator's rationale: Per similar rename of Category:UU staff at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 December 8#Category:UU staff. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:35, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split into Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Timothy Dwight College and Category:Timothy Dwight College alumni. bibliomaniac15 05:40, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:TDers to Category:?

Nominator's rationale: A mishmash of a category which seems to break WP's namespace rules, in that it includes both Wikipedians and articles. Ideally, it needs to be split into Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: TDers and Category:TDers, but I'm wondering whether either of the categories is actually necessary. Grutness...wha? 12:56, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• If this is spilt, the correct names for the new categories are Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Timothy Dwight College and Category:Timothy Dwight College alumni. I don't see a good reason to delete either the user category or the article category. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair enough. I initially brought it here for a split rather than deletion - I just threw that in as a possibility. And you're right - the full name is far better. Grutness...wha? 02:08, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Split to Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Timothy Dwight College and Category:Timothy Dwight College alumni. Seems to be the best move to serve both our editors and readers. -- Lenticel ^(talk) 06:02, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, there is only one wp editor in the category, so creating Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Timothy Dwight College may be a bit premature. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Split and use "alumni" and the school name. "TDer" is horrible opaque and ambiguous. It seems to mean customers of the Toronto-Dominion Bank -- 65.92.246.43 (talk) 04:13, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
